It's intimidating to do our jobs while supporting another person to do theirs. Not to mention, management duties are never the only thing on our plate. Whether you're managing a single staff person or a whole team, this workshop will provide tangible processes, tools, and tactics to ensure clear expectations and individual leadership development while investing in the health of your organization.

Finding Fulfillment: Job Crafting & Beyond with Deb Halliday

In this workshop, you’ll learn to take ownership of your tasks, relationships, and perceptions, gain a new outlook, and become more engaged in your workplace. Cultivate meaning where you are; jobs and careers are building blocks that you can reconfigure to enrich your life. You don’t have to wait for your dream job to open up, make changes to your existing job to make it more compatible with your own interests, goals, and values. Utilize your own strengths to become empowered and get the most out of your work.

Dare to Lead™
October 21st, 6:00pm
Lewis and Clark Brewery, Power Room
Brené Brown developed Dare to Lead™ as a playbook for developing brave leaders and courageous cultures. Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and practice that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with our whole hearts. In this workshop, Chantel Schieffer, a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, will teach the skills, practices, and tools that underpin the four skill sets of courage: Rumbling with Vulnerability, Living into Our Values, Braving Trust, and Learning to Rise.
As President & CEO, Chantel Schieffer is the chief strategist and creator of connection for Leadership Montana. “Work hard, do good, and be kind” has been her motto over the past twenty-five years while making a career of building better communities through public service, private industry, and non-profit organizations. She is also one of the founding members of the Helena Young Professionals. For Chantel, her husband Dax, and their son Dax Michael, adventure is a family value. The trio can often be found playing outside, especially along the trails in their hometown of Helena.
